The Truth behind Mermaids
The idea of mermaids has fascinated the human mind since time immemorial. Sometimes, it is out of pure fantasy and at other times, this belief is supported by evidence. However, no single answer has been agreed upon despite the debates that this question has faced. Therefore, I will research about the truth behind mermaids. I will research the question, ‘do mermaids really exist?’
In order to research this subject appropriately, I will have to assiduously analyze the points provided by both sides of the aisle, that is, those who say that mermaids do exist and those who refute the concept of mermaids. Only after listing down the arguments and counter arguments will I be better able to understand the concept and reach an appropriate conclusion. Moreover, I will research about the credibility of the resources that I use in order to substantiate the claims made on both sides. The mere opinion will distort the research essay. I will have to separate opinion and hearsay from the solid facts.
Moreover, while researching about the existence of mermaids, I will also have to study some ancient myths and trace their source. Sometimes, stories that we presume to be myths today were actually based on some real event in the past centuries. Therefore, discarding myths merely on the basis of their being called so would not be advisable in my research. I will have to trace every detail to its origin as far as possible in order to determine its truth. In reaching my conclusion, I will make sure I point out the exact arguments that made me incline towards the conclusion that I penned down.
